Knee injuries and conditions can significantly impact one's mobility and quality of life. At Novalife Hospitals, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of various knee conditions using advanced arthroscopic techniques. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows our orthopedic surgeons to visualize, diagnose, and treat knee problems with precision and efficiency.
Understanding Arthroscopy:
Arthroscopy is a surgical technique that utilises a small camera called an arthroscope to visualise and treat joint conditions. This minimally invasive approach allows for precise diagnosis and treatment of knee problems without the need for large incisions. The arthroscope is inserted through small incisions, providing a magnified view of the joint’s interior on a monitor.
Here are some of the common knee conditions that can be effectively treated with arthroscopy at Novalife Hospitals:
Meniscal Tears: Meniscal tears are among the most common knee injuries, often resulting from sudden twisting or trauma. Arthroscopic surgery enables our surgeons to repair or trim the torn meniscus, restoring knee function and relieving pain.
Ligament Injuries: Ligament injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, can cause instability and discomfort in the knee. Arthroscopic procedures can be used to reconstruct or repair damaged ligaments, restoring stability and preventing further damage.
Cartilage Damage: Cartilage damage can occur due to wear and tear, injury, or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. Arthroscopic techniques allow for the removal of loose or damaged cartilage fragments and the stimulation of cartilage repair, promoting joint health and function.
Patellar (Kneecap) Disorders: Conditions affecting the patella, such as patellar dislocation or patellar tendonitis, can cause pain and dysfunction. Arthroscopy can be used to realign the patella, remove damaged tissue, and address underlying issues contributing to patellar instability.
Synovial Disorders: Synovial disorders, such as synovitis or plica syndrome, involve inflammation of the synovial lining of the knee joint. Arthroscopic intervention can help identify and address these inflammatory conditions, reducing pain and improving joint function.
At Novalife Hospitals, our team of orthopedic surgeons is dedicated to providing personalized, evidence-based care for patients with knee conditions. Through arthroscopic procedures, we strive to minimize surgical trauma, accelerate recovery, and optimize outcomes for our patients.
